[edit] Definition
The expression "pull shapes" is a British (en-UK) colloqualism that refers to the act of dancing, in particular perhaps to the act of dancing sufficiently expressively as to make "shapes" with one's arms, legs, and overall motions on the dance floor. Use in context by Gwenno during an interview:"Pull shapes on the dance floor, you know? Like when you go dancing: 'You want to go pull some shapes?' Or 'I was pulling some shapes on the dance floor.' "
